Thunar auto-mount issues
Posted: Fri Dec 07, 2012 1:39 pm
In thunar-volman-settings I marked all the options to mount and open removable devices/disks. It usually works but:
1) it does not work when the device is plugged before booting the system.
2) most important, this never works with encrypted filesystems, even if the device is plugged with thunar running: I always have to click on the icon in the shortcut side section of thunar window to perform the mount. (Password is not asked as I desire: I applied the trick of putting the LUKS passphrase in the default seahorse password and setting it blank). This supposed bug is uncomfortable because I use to do frequent automatic snapshots to an encrypted external disk but when I forget to click on it....no backup !
Is there a solution by changing any thunar settings ?
If scripting is the only workaround I need some help for the second issue, as I suppose some simple "mkdir & mount" commands would not be enough for an encrypted filesystem.
Using: Mint 13 Kernel 3.2.0-33-generic XFCE 4.10 Thunar 1.4.0 seahorse 3.2.2
Thanks
